When replacing the rim tape, use a wooden golf tee to hold the tape in place. Line the hole in the rim tape up with the valve stem hole in the rim. Insert a wooden golf into the valve stem hole and press it firmly in place. This will keep the tape alinged with valve stem hole and you pull the tape firm.

After you are done, you can use the rounded end of the golf tee to rub the tape into place and make sure it not loose anywhere.
